Directions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

Rinse the head-on shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Marinate

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red chili flakes. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

3

Cook the Shrimp

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.

4

Add Lemon and Parsley

Squeeze the juice of the whole lemon over the cooked shrimp. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

5

Serve

Serve the shrimp hot, with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
